    Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers because they're badass and lived in FL.

    Ok... now - I seriously can't choose one band sorry. lol

    Metallica - Rock can Rock HARD and I just love their sound always have, always will. However I have to agree Load was a just not right.

    Faith No More - I dunno, bit wacky and hit the spot live.

    The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - Saw them at Manchester Uni (england) and fell in love.

    Danzig - Glenn Danzig can wrap me in those muscles anyday!

    AC/DC - I have a leaning to Bon Scott days but do like some of the newer stuff.

    and finally

    Kiss - well come on now you don't need to ask. They are truly Epic.

    I have a few favorite bands. The Damned and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds are at the top, but they are closely followed by Danko Jones, The Raveonettes, Stellastarr*, The Cramps and Tom Waits. (I'm not indecisive or anything..)
    I love The Damned too :)

    Willie Nelson because I have loved him since I was 5 and it feels like he is just part of my family.

    Built to Spill because Doug Martsch is a musical genius. You should seriously check them out.

    I am more of a Texas Country kind of girl. I love Max Stalling, Brandon Rhyder, Roger Creager, Reckless Kelley...a very talented lot. Their music is not your typical Nashville sound. It has a tendancy to combine country overtones with a rock-a-billy sound. They also have incredible lyrics to songs. :)

    My two favorite bands would be:

    Testament - I listened to them religiously when my dad passed away, they really helped me in a very dark time in my life.

    and...(for those who know me!)

    SLAYER...no reason needed. ;) lol

    My favorite band is Bush, has been since I was like 12. They were my first favorite band, and I just felt like the music spoke to me in a way. I remember being made fun of in 5th grade when I wore my Bush shirt.

    U2.

    In my mind, this needs no explanation. They are simply the most amazing band. All of their songs are exactly as they should be. No crazy vocals from Bono, no unnecessarily long guitar solos from The Edge. Adam Clayton's bass riffs may be simple but they are perfect for each song, as is Larry Mullen, Jr.'s drumming. They've been going for over 30 years and they show no signs of stopping any time soon. Each album is better than the last, "No Line on the Horizon" was definitely well worth the wait! I could go on and on and on about why they are phenomenal...

    This.

    Listen to "Moment of Surrender" from NLOTH - this brilliant song was written and recorded in the band's 35th year of existence. No other band has been as good and as meaningful and as important for as long as U2. No other band even comes close.
